Confession time: I actually like the slime-people costumes, and I'd say they're probably the best part of the movie. Someone clearly put some time and effort into them... so WHY did they decide to hide them in the dense fog?!

Tolliver gets left just outside the door and they don't even bother checking on him. There's no chance he could have survived. Five minutes later, Bonnie disappears and they know she's alive because of course the slime people would kidnap her to draw the rest of them out.

In other news, salt water dissolves the fog wall, but at no point during the war did human blood have any noticeable effect.

So Tom Gregory flies into LA, sees it wrecked, people dead, etc. Bonnie tells him the tale of the Slime People and how the Army fought them and lost. Then he mentions that he's a newscaster ("sports, mostly"). How could he not have heard about this story?? The ARMY fought monsters. The entire city of Los Angeles was EVACUATED. Yet it's all news to this asshat "newscaster."

Can't believe that with all the "Commando Cody" episodes shown, there is not one mention of Clayton Moore who played one of the thugs. Moore was t.v.'s "Lone Ranger" during the 50's. Hard to identify by sight but the voice is unmistakable. A possible riff: "Oh, sorry Mr. Moore, I didn't recognize you without your mask". Heehee.

"You know, you give life to two inanimate objects and they turn around and mock your entire species. You know, if I ever get trapped in space again, I think I'm just going to bring books."
Lol, oh Joel, you know you love 'em. :P Also, Servo, I think that's a brilliant idea for a show! ;)

*GASP!* And all these years, I credited screenwriter Richard Hilliard (Horror of Party Beach) with that brilliant 'sodium' angle. Turns out he was plagiarizing the plot of Slime People all along! Is nothing sacred?

On a break from having a life I went on IMDB and determined that (based on the ages of the actors playing them) Tom Gregory would be 43 and his wildly improbable love interest Lisa would be 22. Honestly, would it have been that much ickier if one of the slime people had locked lips with her in the kitchen? (In the interests of full disclosure, I myself am a 42-year-old man, though I self-identify as a Cybernetic Remotely-Operated Woman.)

"Come on Marine." - DON'T call me Marine, gee!
Joel's response assumes a Marine would be insulted by being called a Marine - not so; Marines are very proud of that title. (Now if he had said, 'Come on Soldier.', that would be another story).

Wow. The guy who plays Tolliver (the crazy guy who gets killed) had a really long career, mostly in voice work and narration, but he was in the 1953 War of the Worlds and North by Northwest. I wonder how they got him to be in this movie. :)

Tolliver and the auctioneer from North by Northwest are played by Les Tremayne, an old time radio veteran. The other guy at the lectern in NBNW is Olan Soule' who played "Brains" in Jet Jackson as well as many OTR roles.
